“He was huge for us (Saturday). That is how we expect him to play. I know that he is just getting back with his knee and everything, getting in a rhythm. He was really good for us.”
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Trey Burke used the adjective “monstrous” while elaborating on Rudy Gobert’s game Saturday.
The description was apt, especially perhaps because the French center has jokingly referred to himself as being “Godzilla.” He was a beast while leading the Jazz to a blowout win over the Lakers with 18 points, 18 rebounds and five blocked shots.
A Jazz player hadn’t had that type of night since Rich Kelley totaled the same amount of points, boards and blocks in 1979.
